[CentOS] Adding/Removing Headers with Sendmail

[Peter Farrow]

To deliver joe.bloggs.sa... at example.com to joe.blo... at example.com and 
s.... at example.com do this:

in /etc/mail/local-host-names:

example.com

in

/etc/mail/virtusertable

joe.bloggs.sa..... at example.com            joe.bloggs
s.... at example.com                               
alternate-email-address-or-username-on-this-box-of-"s.... at example.com"

in /etc/aliases

joe.bloggs:            
joebloggs-mailbox-name-here-or-other-email-address,  s.... at example.com

you can combine the virtusertable entry and the alias part for the 
s.... at example.com into one entry... as follows if you prefer

remove the s.... at example.com                               
alternate-email-address-or-username-on-this-box-of-"s.... at example.com" 
from /etc/mail.virtusertable

and modify /etc/aliases line as follows:

joe.bloggs:            
joebloggs-mailbox-name-here-or-other-email-address, 
alternate-email-address-or-username-on-this-box-of-"s.... at example.com"


if you want a catchall,

in /etc/mail/virtusertable

@example.com         catchall-alias-name-username-or-alternate-email-address

if you want to re-write

in /etc/mail/virtusertable

@somewhereelse.com             %1 at example.com

but in this latter case somewhereelse.com must be listed in 
/etc/mail/local-host-names as well.      

Hope this gives you a starting point

Pete
